I signed up to use hub.turnkeylinux.org hoping to learn how to use it especially how to automatically backup my files on the local disck and also to backup my sites to amazon but i have totally failed. I have tried several times while amazon charging me for the server per hr until i stopped it.

I want to start providing online backup service to my customers but have failed to learn how to use it.

Thanks for your reply. But i would like to know how to automatically backup my websites and the files on my local disk to Amazon s3. Also, i wanted to test how the system works when am a reseller-providing backup services to my clients. I just signed up for

2ND QUESTION.

Is the $20/m for budget plan a monthly plan or its like amazon-paying just for what you use?

Yes, the $20/m is a monthly plan. After that you only pay Amazon's
regular usage fees. After you sign up for a TurnKey Hub account, on
the page that describes the different plans every item is a link you
can click on for more information.

We've tried to make backing up a server with TKLBAM about as easy as
it gets:

tklbam-init YOUR_HUB_APIKEY_FROM_THE_USER_PROFILE
tklbam-backup

That's it! There's a lot of good documentation on the website
regarding TKLBAM which you probably want to check out. Click on Help
in the top navigation and see the Frequently Asked Questions and the
Community documentation.

We haven't done anything special to enable reselling services based
on the Hub. I guess if you manage the service for your customers you
can resell anything though...

I wish you could have another package for as low as $10/m for those starting the online backup service. You know, online backup business is not like website hosting where people/companies immediately see the benefits for going online. So, we as small website hosting and developement service providers, need some offers like that enable us kick off. The free offer you give, does not enable me to fully test and understand how your software really works.

So, i suggest that you make a fully functioning DEMO for us. That is if you can't reduce on the amount of money for some one to test your software.

Otherwise am happy to see that your software is interegrated with AMAZON S3

If you wish to test different appliances without the cost you just need to download the relevant format and install to a local VM. Then when testing backup you will only pay the S3 charges associated with the amount of data that is being backed up. Obviously the disadvantage of this is that the upload will take a while if you have a lot of data to backup.
